How was your interview experience at NITIE Mumbai?

One of my friends appeared for the interview of the 2020-22 batch. The interview was online. The pattern was entirely new. The offline interview got canceled due to the Covid-19 situation. NITIE also cancelled the GD. 

Online Interview:

They received a set of 6 questions, on which they needed to prepare a talk for five to seven minutes. The questions were regarding the following.

• General Profile (Name, Academics, Background)
• Project related details
• Questions related to jobs. Freshers were asked to speak on selected problems from their discipline.
• Questions regarding extracurricular activities, i.e. any specific achievements, awards, conference presentations, etc.
• Why NITIE?
• What is your career goal?

Apart from these 6 questions, there was a surprise question on current affairs. The time allotted for the surprise question was two minutes. 

Platform:

The interview was a recorded session on the TALVIEW app/website. After you login with your credentials, the app promotes the first question. After 30 seconds the recording starts with a timer of 7 minutes. Once you submit your first answer, the second question comes on your screen and the answer is similarly recorded. They were given a time slot for recording the interview. 

According to my friend they were judged based on their presentation skills, body language, confidence, and presentation. My friend's interview was quite good and he converted.
